We provide practical AI strategy and engineering consultation for software teams, technology startups, and operational departments across the United States. Rather than locking clients into speculative multi-month retainers, we work in targeted 1 to 4 week sprints billed at $50 to $300 USD per hour.
Technology leaders face an influx of unsubstantiated software claims. Since 2021, our technical editor Alina Morozova has established a repeatable evaluation rubric that cuts through marketing hype. We evaluate models using physical compute benches in Chicago under Illinois LLC № 12345678, measuring latency under sustained multi-user loads, token serialization bottlenecks, and memory fragmentation.
When you book a strategy session, you collaborate directly with practitioners who understand CUDA kernel profiling, vector database partitioning, and deterministic webhook construction.
Each offering corresponds to documented practitioner hours, clear technical deliverables, and verifiable milestone testing.
Stress-testing open-source weights against commercial API endpoints. We measure time-to-first-token (TTFT), tokens per second across variable context windows, and accuracy degradation under quantized representations (AWQ, GPTQ, GGUF).
| Lead Time | 1 to 2 weeks |
| Core Equipment | Dedicated GPU clusters, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM |
| Deliverable | Latency distribution graphs & hardware sizing report |
Consulting on private infrastructure boundaries, air-gapped data compliance, chunking strategies, hybrid vector-lexical search algorithms, and multi-tenant access controls for corporate document intelligence systems.
| Lead Time | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Core Equipment | Qdrant, Milvus, LlamaIndex, vLLM private cluster |
| Deliverable | Terraform/Docker manifests, security boundary spec |
Engineering deterministic automation routines connecting CRM, CMS, relational databases, and local models. We build robust error queues, payload schema validation, and structured output converters.
| Lead Time | 1 to 3 weeks |
| Core Equipment | n8n orchestrator, Python webhooks, PostgreSQL |
| Deliverable | Self-hosted pipeline code & operational playbook |
Refactoring manual back-office tasks, outdated ETL scripts, and brittle third-party integrations into modern, observable microservices powered by lightweight local models.
| Lead Time | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Core Equipment | Docker, Apache Airflow, custom Python scripts |
| Deliverable | System migration roadmap & parallel-run test suite |
We provide fixed hourly quotes rather than vague commercial estimates. When evaluating an advisory request, the final hourly rate between 50 and 300 USD depends strictly upon:
| Scope Variable | Impact on Rate & Lead Time |
|---|---|
| Architecture Scale | Single-server deployment vs distributed multi-node GPU cluster with high-availability load balancing. |
| Review & Guide Depth | High-level architectural assessment vs line-by-line kernel profiling and custom prompt regression testing. |
| Publication Frequency | Ad-hoc advisory session vs structured weekly technical teardowns with formal sign-off gates. |
| Integrations & Triggers | Standard REST webhooks vs legacy SOAP, bespoke ERP databases, or air-gapped financial networks. |
| Specialist Seniority | Implementation engineer vs principal advisory consultation directed personally by Alina Morozova. |
We review your existing codebase, API telemetry, and infrastructure constraints to identify inference bottlenecks and compute cost leakages.
We draft the precise model weights, context window boundaries, indexing schemas, and webhook orchestration maps required for your workload.
We stand up the proposed architecture in an isolated staging environment and run stress tests under heavy concurrency to verify latency thresholds.
We deploy the verified pipelines, train internal engineering staff on maintenance runbooks, and provide complete documentation under Illinois LLC № 12345678.
Yes. We offer direct hourly consulting between 50 and 300 USD per hour without recurring contract minimums. Sessions can be booked for targeted architecture teardowns, vendor contract reviews, or emergency latency troubleshooting.
We execute standard mutual non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) under Illinois jurisdiction. We never route client payloads through third-party services without explicit written consent, and we verify that private models run strictly on your tenant hardware.
No. We operate strictly as an independent advisory and review desk. We do not sell hardware, markup cloud compute, or accept reseller commissions. Our only revenue comes from client consulting fees.
Please submit your system architecture details or operational challenges. Our team evaluates feasibility and responds within one business day.
